When you're out and about judging BBQ contests, conversation among judges invariably wanders to the question, "Where the best place to get good meat around here?"
While judging the Van Ruiten Winery BBQ Cook Off in Lodi, CA, I was directed to visit Lakewood Meats & Sausage. Among the things I picked up were brats and platter bacon and beef jerky and this high quality Creekstone Farms ground chuck, which I grilled as 1/3 lb burgers last night on the Weber Summit 450.
A little S&P, grilled to medium doneness, smeared a little Texas BBQ sauce on top followed by a slice of American and a slice of Baby Swiss, placed on a toasted bun...and I was starting to wonder whether I even needed any condiments???
The dimple approach to avoiding burger bulging.
A smear of Texas BBQ sauce for added flavor.
Getting the cheese all melty.
I promise there's a 1/3 lb burger under there somewhere! #juicy #whoneedsproduce #needmorenapkins
